Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 943: A Son, Not a Daughter

"Zhou Yixiu." Qi Cheng said with unusual seriousness, "You provoke me time and time again, do you think you’re not miserable enough?"

"Heh..." Zhou Yixiu chuckled. At this point, he couldn’t imagine how much more miserable he could be.

Qi Cheng said, "Since you’re so eager for me to rescue Cheng Yanxi, I promise you, I will get her out. But in return, you will pay a price."

His thoughts had been focused on Ji Yunhuan during this time.

Originally, he intended to resolve the situation with Xia Duo before dealing with Zhou Yixiu, but now, it was more than enough.

He didn’t want to save the troublesome Cheng Yanxi, but he needed someone to vent his discontent.

After all, if it weren’t for what Zhou Yixiu had done, he wouldn’t be in a position where he could only watch his beloved walk away without daring to reach out and hold his hand.

For Qi Cheng, this was undoubtedly the greatest pain.

So, he was angry!

Zhou Yixiu might have sensed Qi Cheng’s anger and said nothing more, hanging up the phone directly.

Qi Cheng didn’t even go home, flying straight back to C City.

He didn’t have much time and felt that he couldn’t swallow this resentment without dealing with Zhou Yixiu.

Keeping Zhou Yixiu around was nothing but a bane.

Zhou Yixiu seemed calm; despite Qi Cheng’s threat, he stayed with Lin Zhenyu every day. For him, as long as the baby wasn’t in trouble, he had nothing to fear.

Lin Zhenyu, accompanied by Zhou Yixiu every day, felt a bit unaccustomed.

She looked at Zhou Yixiu, "Don’t you have work to do lately?"

"Nothing much to do." Zhou Yixiu pulled her into his embrace. He had never taken Lin Zhenyu seriously, never considered her his wife, only treating her as a woman. But since Lin Zhenyu became pregnant, Zhou Yixiu’s attitude changed significantly.

He showed special favor to this woman who was going to bear his child.

Seeing Zhou Yixiu idle every day, Lin Zhenyu assumed he was discouraged by the heir issue, "I know, a lot has happened recently, but no matter what, I always believe you will rise again. You’re so excellent, so capable; in my heart, you’re the most remarkable man."

"I know." Zhou Yixiu said, "Don’t overthink. I just want to spend more time with you and the child."

"But..." Lin Zhenyu looked at her belly, "He hasn’t even been born yet."

"He’s already here." After so many years, having his own child for the first time filled him with excitement.

Lin Zhenyu looked at Zhou Yixiu, "Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

"Of course, a son." Zhou Yixiu replied affirmatively.

"What if it’s a daughter?" Lin Zhenyu started to worry.

Zhou Yixiu’s constant presence put enormous pressure on her.

"..." Zhou Yixiu looked at Lin Zhenyu’s belly without speaking.

He had never considered that possibility because he so strongly desired a son.

Though this era advocates gender equality, clearly, men and women couldn’t be equal.

In their family, aside from him and Zhou Jinlian, there were no daughters to be taken into account because they were women.

This might be his only child, so he couldn’t bear to imagine otherwise.

"Are you angry?" Lin Zhenyu looked at Zhou Yixiu worriedly, "I just think it’s possible. After all, this isn’t something we can decide. Of course, it would be nice if it’s a son."

Zhou Yixiu released Lin Zhenyu and stood up.

He walked to the window, looking outside. It was a sunny day, but in his world, there seemed never to be a distinction between sunny and rainy days—always dark.

Since becoming pregnant, it was the first time Lin Zhenyu felt Zhou Yixiu lose his temper.

All because she mentioned possibly having a son.

Faced with Zhou Yixiu’s reaction, Lin Zhenyu felt anxious but had no choice now; all she could do was give birth to the child.

At this moment, someone came in and said to Zhou Yixiu, "Qi Cheng is back from City A. He just got off the plane."

"I know." Qi Cheng said he would save Cheng Yanxi, and now he actually returned.

As long as he’s willing to save Cheng Yanxi, that’s good.

Upon hearing that Qi Cheng regained his memory, Zhou Yixiu’s first thought was that Qi Cheng would reunite with Ji Yunhuan.

All his misfortunes were for separating the two, and if they reunited now, it would be hard for Zhou Yixiu to bear.

So he made this choice.

But...

If Qi Cheng came to save Cheng Yanxi, Zhou Yixiu certainly wouldn’t let Qi Cheng succeed easily.

For Qi Cheng, once he decided on something, he wouldn’t give up.

If Ji Yunhuan found out all Qi Cheng had done for Cheng Yanxi, she would surely be angry.

He didn’t believe the two could continue to live happily and blissfully above him.

After everything he’d been through, Zhou Yixiu felt he had forgotten his original intentions and why he targeted Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan.

For him now, the one thing he did not want to see was those two people who had caused him pain happily living together.

After his subordinate left, Lin Zhenyu looked at Zhou Yixiu, "Are you still concerned about Qi Cheng’s matters?"

"Why shouldn’t I care about him?" Zhou Yixiu turned back, looking at Lin Zhenyu.

Lin Zhenyu said, "Yixiu, I feel maybe we should stop provoking the Qi family. Even if you caused him misfortune, you wouldn’t reap any benefits."

If it weren’t for kidnapping Ji Yunhuan and provoking the Qi Family, they wouldn’t have faced consistent misfortune later. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Especially after getting pregnant, Lin Zhenyu saw things much more rationally than before.

Now she understood why the elders of the four great families didn’t want younger generations to fight amongst themselves, as it benefitted no one and only allowed others to take advantage.

Zhou Yixiu said, "I didn’t provoke him; he came to provoke me. And... should I do nothing? How can I endure that?"

He had never been one to accept losses. When he was in high positions, he had too many concerns, but now there’s nothing to worry about anymore, so he wasn’t afraid.

Seeing his stubbornness, Lin Zhenyu couldn’t help but sigh.

Zhou Yixiu walked up to her, "You just focus on giving birth to a son for me. No matter what, you and the child will be fine."

Even if he didn’t care about Lin Zhenyu, he would care for the child’s safety.

"When you say things like that, it scares me." It sounded like he was leaving a will, as if he was determined to have her give birth to a son and didn’t want to live anymore.
